Lore

Olias used to take his marching orders from the White Mantle, but he now walks his own path. An encounter at the Temple of Ages convinced Olias that he had been chosen for a special mission: he now serves as Grenth's personal "hand of judgment," enacting what he sees as the will of his god. He lives by a simple code. Those who perish and return to life are expected by Grenth to live their lives well. If they do not, Olias ensures they are returned to the cold embrace of the Lord of Death.

Mysterious events in Elona now compel him to act on Grenth's behalf. With strange disturbances in the land, Olias feels that the gods are threatened and the dead themselves are uneasy in their eternal sleep. He has sworn an oath to Grenth that he will find the source of the strange malady and correct it. And if it involves sending new minions to Grenth, so much the better! Death and killing delight him. He is willing to discuss other matters, but strangely enough, most discussions seem to lead back to death and killing.

"Those Sunspears who survived were not the lucky ones. They will have to face a long war against the Kournans, filled with much pain. Death, like surrender, is often the gentler path...but it is not the best one."

"Melonni's nightmares are worsening. I tried to offer her a bedtime story to help her sleep...something cheering, like Grenth's parable about vivisection...but she turned me down. I can't imagine why."

Notes

Olias is considered part of the Nightfall campaign. Because of this, using a trial key for Prophecies (with an account that has Nightfall, but not Prophecies) and unlocking Olias will allow him to be used as a hero even after the trial ends.
